Roboteer1

Description

TEST IT - BLOW IT UP - REDESIGN IT
No advertising.
Robotics is all about problem analysis, design, engineering, testing, prototyping, breaking down, starting over, redesigning, retesting, etc, until you eventually have a robot that solves the problem.

Roboteer1 brings this process to a non-technical game level where the player is the Robotics Engineer, i.e Roboteer, who has to perform all the tasks of the Robotics Engineer, including:
- analyzing the challenge
- formulating a design,
- constructing the design,
- prototyping the robot,
- testing its operation,
- blowing it up and starting over,
- repeating this prototyping cycle until the design and operation can successfully complete the challenge.

WHAT PLAYERS THINK:

“Whoever designed this is evil”, High School student, on his 8th prototyping cycle.

“I did it, my robot won a medal”, 8 year old who completed his first challenge.

“I love blowing up my robot, its so cool”, 5 year old who is still learning

“ I could use this in class”, School teacher with unruly, bored students

”Oh, this has girly colors”, young teenage girl who likes robots.
